The view that uncertainty resulting from the condition of anarchy causes defensively-motivated entities to engage in self-defeating security competition has been explored in various periods of history. This introductory ...

This work was carried out to compare the endocrine function of ovarian tissue isolated in vitro, in an identical environment between ewes and ewe lambs. Furthermore, to determine whether the differences in endocrine and ...

An investigation was conducted to compare late embryonic losses in ewe lambs and ewes and to determine the effect of inducing embryonic mortality on day 15 of pregnancy on reproductive function in ewe lambs. Ovulation rate ...

This issue of Aspects of Applied Biology contains papers presented at the AAB conference on Crop quality and its importance for sustainable livestock production, held at the Manchester Conference Centre on 15-16 December ...

Two rapid methods for highly selective detection and quantification of the two major glycoalkaloids in potatoes, α-chaconine and α-solanine, were compared for robustness in high-throughput operations for over 1000 analytical ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the use of red clover (RC) silage as a forage for dry dairy cows, primarily relative to its impact on tissue mobilization and repletion during the transition period and ...

Bayesian analyses were used to estimate genetic parameters on 5580 records of litter size in the first four parities from 1758 Mule ewes. To examine the appropriateness of fitting repeatability (RM) or multiple trait ...

Plant characters that determine stem and root lodging were measured on 15 winter wheat cultivars at three UK sites between 2000 and 2002. A model of lodging was used to estimate stem failure wind speeds (resistance to stem ...

An in vitro experiment was designed to investigate the effects of incubating two forages with a different energy/nitrogen (N) ratio [perennial ryegrass (GR) vs red clover (RC)] on the efficiency of N utilisation by rumen ...

The quartz OSL signal from dune sands from Saudi Arabia and Oman start to saturate at doses of about 100 Gy. In order to try to date dune sands with greater expected doses, a previously published, single-aliquot, ...

Satellite remote sensing, with its unique synoptic coverage capabilities, can provide accurate and immediately valuable information on fire analysis and post-fire assessment, including estimation of burnt areas. In this ...

The genus Streptomyces produces two-thirds of microbially derived antibiotics. Polyketides form the largest and most diverse group of these natural products. Antibiotic diversity of polyketides is generated during their ...

This paper compares the volatile compound and fatty acid compositions of grilled beef from Aberdeen Angus and Holstein-Friesian steers slaughtered at 14 months, each breed fed from 6 months on either cereal-based concentrates ...

Introduction: The endo- and mesomorphy components of somatotype and the BMI are assumed to relate to body composition constituents e.g. adiposity and lean body mass. Although physical activity may change body shape and ...
